Traffic light restoration

Vintage traffic light restoration NOW WORKING

Hi all, I’m currently restoring an old traffic light but I’m unsure how far to take it, I have so far straightened up the lense covers but one has a split I’m not sure I should leave or weld up? I’m going to have the working and have ordered a sequence control from eBay,

I made my first actual thing on my lathe, a fastener for the light,

Link below is part of the restoration

I have also built my own diy garage/workshop and fitted I scissor lift into the concrete floor, the vid is just pictures from the process with some writing

Any feedback is appreciated

Don’t order the sequencer from eBay. Make your own.

Great thread and thank you. Im hands on And I can do most things, unfortunately I have never looked into electronics and I have a few projects on at the moment so bought one from eBay, however I may be making another at some point so will bookmark the thread

So I have spent the afternoon working on the traffic lights, fully functioning but not quite finished,

Had a result that the wife is happy to have them in the garden as well!

Please check out the video of them working

This one I found at a flea market years ago, it was in good shape and all I did was install a light controller from ebay and it works great. It's been hanging in my shop for years and is wired into the shop lights. It comes on as soon as I turn on the lights.
